New York City, has recently acquired two pieces from the MUSE / MUSEUM series for its permanent collection. ![]() Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver "Artist and catalogue contributor Jack Balas captures the boom mood in his poetic essay about being a laborer for hire. His description of driving across the country as an art shipper in the 80's expresses the increasing vulnerability of the artist through a portrait of the landscape. Looking in the rearview mirror suggests that the 90's represented the point of no return for the contemporary art world." Chief Curator, MoCA Denver. |
